Indeed. Will the writers stay true to history, or will the writers create new journeys?? Will the writers write that Blackthorne's journey allows his escape from the confinements of Japan entirely, and for what cause?? What reasons, if any, does Blackthrone have to stay in Japan now that Mariko is dead?? Will Blackthrone stay in Japan now that he's the trusted retainer and Samurai of Lord Toranaga?? I mean, Lord Toranaga allows Blackthorne to rebuild his ship and promises to destroy his rebuilt ship. Toranaga knows that Blackthorne's karma brought him to Japan and that he is destined never to leave Japan. Toranaga also knows it is his karma to become Shogun...which the Emperor offered Toranaga the position of Shogun, in that, Toranaga accepted. After all, Williams Adam, who Blackthorne is based of, never left Japan and Tokugawa Ieyasu is the basis of Lord Toranaga, of which Tokugawa only held the Shogun title for a mere 2 years. Should there be a Season 2, how and where the writers take us will be...interesting, one way or another.

The tease continues about there being a Shogun Season 2. Here's the most recent info, even though the info is not much... https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/revealing-shogun-season-2-highlights-an-insightful-discussion-with-justin-marks-on-fx/ar-BB1nDhul?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=431a2ead75a94585ae1a7393f7aef80d&ei=24

I'm cheering on the Stars to make it to and win the Stanley Cup

I just read that article. I'm starting to wonder if the fight will ever happen for whatever reason(s). Tyson's age and recent medical issues are not to be taken lightly at all by the powers that be. Even though Tyson said on his channel back on May 28, 2024, concerning his recent medical issue... "Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul."

Thank you so very much for all of the NHL Playoff updates, Ken; I've enjoyed them quite a lot.

I agree!! Dallas traffic is a nightmare, especially during rush hours. That means every traffic artery leading in and out of that fight will be bumper to bumper for hours. My mom, grandma, and aunts use to live for years in Dallas and whenever I'd visit them, I'd get stuck on the 610/35 corridor for what seemed like forever. Traffic in the Metroplex in Ft. Worth and Dallas is no joke at all.

Tyson seems to be feeling 100% better after his medical emergency on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Apparently, Tyson while on that flight had become nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up. Fight's still going to happen.

Happy 23rd Birthday to KarateForums.com!! With many sincere thanks and deep appreciation to Patrick, his programmer friend, and his crew for bringing KF to a brand new and exciting era that we current as well as new members will greatly benefit from all of the hard work and sacrifices that it has taken to reach this milestone. GO KF!!

The Stars are killing it which is not a real surprise to me this year, and they're doing the same thing in the playoffs. I have to say that I believe that the Stars are going to the Stanley Cup Finals, and whomever they have to face, they will have their hand full and then some. First, they have to see who wins the game 7 between the Oilers and Canucks, and whomever it is that wins, the Stars will not take them lightly!!

Cowboys VS Raiders pre-season... WEEK 2 · Sat 08/17 · 9:00 PM CDT Dallas Cowboys AT Las Vegas Raiders On CBS I might go, so I can see the Cowboys live, I live in Las Vegas, Allegiant Stadium tickets can be quite pricey, if the tickets are affordable. GO COWBOYS!!

I've just watched the 3-hour star studded Netflix special, The Roast of Tom Brady. I must say that the roast was pretty darn good all the way around. I will warn those here that might be interested in watching it, the language is RAW, and that's putting it mild, from start to finish. Check it out!! [/b]

By all means, stay safe. Even if that might mean to leave where you're training at now with the hopes of finding a more saver place to train. I know, it's far easier said than done, however, everything is replaceable except for you.

Oh yeah, so they are. My bad. Like you pointed out, Brian, center and the right/left guards make up the iOL. Boy I was way in left field on that comment of mine. Sorry for that. Just scratch that off while I place a large bag over my head.

The Cowboys drafted all of the wrong positions. The draft didn't help the Cowboys whatsoever. The Cowboys needed: OT, iOL, WR, DT, EDGE, LB, CB They got: OT Tyler Guyton EDGE Marshawn Kneeland G Cooper Beebe LB Marist Liufau CB Caelen Carson WR Ryan Flournoy OT Nathan Thomas DT Justin Rogers They missed the iOL and got a guard...Ouch!! Cowboys didn't address offensive skill position upgrades aggressive enough. However, the Cowboys did bolster the offensive and defensive fronts, minus the iOL. What hurts the Cowboys outside of the draft was that they lost 8 players to other teams in free agency, including 5 starters. The Cowboys can't replace 5 starters because if they try to replace those 5 starters, then all they are going to do is end up with a very bad version of those 5 starters. We'll see what we see!! GO COWBOYS!!

Well, the Knights fell to the Star in game 7 with the score of 2-1 on Star's ice. Oh well, they fought tooth and nail to the very end. Congrats to the Stars; well-deserved and good luck to the rest of the playoffs.

Watching the Elton John and Bernie Taupin: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song on PBS. An iconic team if ever seen.

Tomorow might be the end of the Knights playoff fight having have lose on Stars ice yesterday. Knights return to their own ice tomorrow for a do-or-die fight against the Stars who have returned to their solid winning ways at the expensive of the Knights. Got my fingers crossed, have said a prayer, have lit the candles, and have a rabbit's foot in my pocket...even though that might not save the Knights from being eliminated. Protect the net or go to the house!! GO KNIGHTS!!

While being the head coach of any major sports team might seem like quite lucrative, but being a head coach is anything but ideal because they're here today, gone tomorrow.

Well, the Stars did it again to my Knights last night to tie up the series by the score of 4-2. Knights return to Stars ice tomorrow before returning back to Knights ice this Friday. I hope that the Stars haven't returned back to their winning streak at the cost of the Knights. Knights scored in 1st and 2nd quarter but found only a dry hole around the Stars net. Yet, the Stars found Knights net plentiful in all 3 quarters. You might be right aurik about this series going 7 games. GO KNIGHTS!!

So he is playing the villain? If he gets people to hate him, they will watch just to see him lose. That is the same thing Colby Covington does to sell fights. Yes!! I believe his net worth of $300M attests for the fact that he's so darn popular as the MMA bad boy. Perhaps the real reason why McGregor is so popular is that people want to see what he'll say/do next.

I have no idea why McGregor is so popular. He definitely has an effective team on his side especially with his social media. He does have a nice MMA record of 22-6 with very effective striking He's a lot of controversies from driving offenses to alleged sex assault; perhaps he's considered by many as the bad-boy of the MMA. After all, he'll fight anyone, and fans love that about him People love a bad-boy for many reasons, and with his gift a trash talking, which has earned him the name The Notorious, it's no real surprise how he has endeared himself with his fans, which definitely fueled his marketability and star power. I'm just guessing as to the real reasons as to why he's so popular. Doesn't hurt his popularity at all that he starred in Road House as a bad-boy.

OT wasn't favorable for the Knights last night as they lost to the Stars 3-2. Knights were scoreless in the 1st and 3rd quarters. The 3rd quarter was a battle for them both as the net was fiercely defended. At 16:23 mark of OT, Johnston, the youngest Star player found Knights net for the win. Game 4 tomorrow on Knights ice. GO KNIGHTS!!

Funny thing about game winning predictions, they sure can sometimes be quite unexpected and amusing. Like with the Stars and the Knights in their game 2 of the playoffs on Star's ice tonight. The Stars were favored to win against the Knights, however, the Knights won 3-1. Next game for the Stars and the Knights will be this Saturday on Knights ice. I wonder what the game winning predictions will be for their game 3?!? GO KNIGHTS!!
